Fancy a Bella Italia break or a taste of Italian motoring magnificence? Both await a lucky winner who votes in the 2015 travel “Oscars”.

Public participation in the lauded British Travel Awards – backed by the Daily Mirror – is now open to September 30 and already we’ve had 449,000 votes.

Everyone who votes in these benchmark travel industry accolades is entered into a draw for a treasure trove of fabulous holiday prizes worth more than £30,000.

You could win an eight-day escorted Travelsphere trip for two to Italy’s Cilento coast with spa access and half-board accommodation with wine. It’s worth £999 per person and comes with UK flights and transfers.

Or how about impressing the neighbours with an Italian luxury car parked outside your house?

Another molto bene Italian prize from the British Travel Awards gets you three days' free car hire in a Maserati Quattroporte from Sixt , worth up to £546 (this would be Mirror Travel’s wheels if we won the Lotto!)

Select from more than 60 pick-up locations and Modena magnificence is yours for three days.
